I did indeed have grub install on hdb, but the boot order in BIOS was correct. I tried disconnecting hdb but got "error 21". What ended up working for me was editting the boot stanza in grub to point to my hda install, then running grub-install from there. Still don't know why it didn't work in the chroot though, would be interested to find out. -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Send some filthy mail. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
